The hearing test, which involved sitting in a quiet room listening to noises of various pitch played through headphones, confirmed the worst. I had no hearing in my left ear whatsoever.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
One of my sensory problems was hearing sensitivity, where certain loud noises, such as a school bell, hurt my ears. It sounded like a dentist drill going through my ears.
I am going slightly deaf in my right ear. It's tinnitus... something like that.
I've always worn earplugs, but I'm sure my hearing's not great.
I hadn't really noticed that I had a hearing problem. I just thought most people had given up on speaking clearly.
My hearing after 50 years of playing music sometimes isn't too great.
The fact that I wasn't expected to read music at all and was absorbing everything by ear... it had a huge affect on the kind of musician that I became.
In 1967, I found out I was losing my hearing. I went 10 years without any help. I had otosclerosis - hardening of the bone in the middle of the ear.
I have selective hearing.
I'm totally deaf in my right ear, yeah.
My brother was listening to his transistor radio. He kept switching the earpiece from one ear to the other, which I thought was his idea of a joke. 'You can't do that,' I said. 'You can only hear out of one ear.' 'No, I can hear out of both,' he answered. And that was how I discovered I was deaf in my right ear.
